Last thread I'll 'start' on this subject, after reading that link
http://mysite.verizon.net/vze20h45/r...ch.html#extant

It finally hit me, it's a 'stereo headphone' jack. I just happened to have one
of them.....actually more than one. Do I do it 'right'.....I mean it's working
fine right now with that adapter.

The only 'difference' it'd make (and I don't think it'd make that much of a
difference, because can hear BCB on it now) is that it 'eliminates' the MW part
of the spectrum. But I hear it anyhow, and if I do serious BCB dxing, it
wouldn't be hooked to a long wire anyhow, I'd be using (more than likely) the
30x30 Diamond Loop and table.

Ahhhh, what to do...lol...I can't believe it never hit me that it was a
HEADPHONE jack for an external antenna, I never heard of that before.sigh
